Chatterjee, B. R. (Baylor University College of Medicine, Houston, Tex.), and Robert P. Williams. Formation of spheroplasts from Bacillus anthracis. J. Bacteriol. 89:1128-1133. 1965.-Spheroplasts were prepared from Bacillus anthracis by combined treatment with lysozyme and glycine. Glycine, at a final concentration of 3%, was added to cultures of B. anthracis in nutrient broth that had grown at...

Optimum parameters for retention of motility of Treponema pallidum (Nichols virulent strain) were found by anaerobic co-incubation of the treponeme with rat glial cells and anaerobic incubation in spent medium obtained from glial cells originally grown aerobically.

BACKGROUND Pneumococcal virulence factors common to all serotypes, such as choline-binding proteins (CBPs), are promising therapeutic targets in pneumococcal infections. We studied the effect of a choline dendrimer with maximized binding affinity/specificity for CBPs on microglia-mediated pneumococcal phagocytosis. METHODS Pneumoccocal cultures were exposed to dendrimers containing 8 choline ...

| The paper deals with the formal speciication of a general-purpose multimedia synchronization mechanism, known as the conditional delivery mechanism capable of addressing both intra-and inter-stream synchronization issues. The proposed mechanism, initially introduced in 3, 11], is based on the identiication of causal relations among information units of one or several streams and has the purpo...

The losses of benzoic acid and a homologous series of both mono- and dibasic aliphatic acids in oil shale retort water were monitored with time (21 days) in liquid culture (4% retort water, vol/vol) inoculated with soil. The organic acids constituted approximately 12% of the dissolved organic carbon in retort water, which served as the sole source of carbon and energy in these studies. The leve...
